Orkney Islands: A Landscape of Healing
In "The Outrun," the Orkney Islands serve as a sanctuary for Rona, portrayed by Saoirse Ronan, as she returns to her roots after confronting personal challenges. The islands' rugged terrains and serene coastlines mirror Rona's internal struggles and path to self-discovery.
Yesnaby Cliffs: These dramatic cliffs, with their sheer drops into the North Atlantic, symbolise resilience and the tumultuous journey of recovery. The film captures the cliffs' stark beauty, highlighting Rona's moments of introspection against the backdrop of crashing waves.
Birsay: This tidal island, accessible only at low tide, represents isolation and reflection. Key scenes depict Rona exploring ancient ruins, drawing parallels between the island's history and her personal journey.
London: The Urban Contrast
Contrasting the tranquility of Orkney, London's bustling streets reflect Rona's past life's chaos and allure. The city's vibrant energy serves as both a temptation and a reminder of the life she aims to redefine.
Hackney and Tower Hamlets: These boroughs encapsulate the essence of Rona's urban experiences. Scenes shot on canal towpaths by Victoria Park, and the iconic Haggerston pub depict the intensity of her past, while moments in a tower block flat showcase her isolated downfall.
